Hey there! Today is the American Crafts 2014-2015 Design Team Blog Hop and I hope you'll be inspired to craft as you make your way through the 6 blogs of the design team members - we each have a fun project to share using American Crafts supplies!
LOVE HER by Paige Evans
Description: I was inspired by the nail & string art I've seen popping up on Pinterest lately and thought I'd give it a go using baker's twine and brads with the new Shimelle line!
Journaling says: Ain't no :)
How to: Trace a heart onto white cardstock with a pencil then mark the center top and center bottom points. Mark every 1.5" or down both sides. Pierce a brad through each pencil dot. Wrap baker's twine around the brads - I didn't have a rhyme or reason for the method to my madness, I kinda wish I did though because it's a bit of a hot mess. Oh well. Wrap the top layer color of twine around the heart to define the edge. Punch a rainbow of patterned papers into 1" circles then trim them in half. Adhere the semi circles around the heart again to define the edge. Notice I kept my brads and papers in a rainbow order for a fun look. Add a pair of photos to the right and stitch a Thickers title below. Add matching colored embellishments (such as die cuts, rub ons, wood veneer, layered chipboard, stickers, and more) around the rainbow heart then drop spray mist around the layout to finish.
Supplies: Cardstock, patterned paper, brads, die cuts, stickers, wood veneer, cork, layered chipboard, rub ons, circle punch, baker's twine, Thickers, adhesive: American Crafts; Spray mist: Studio Calico; Sewing machine: Brother; Thread: Coats & Clark

ReplyDeleteLove AC papers!!! Your page is amazing as usual.
ReplyDeleteI'm yet another tried and true Thickers fan! I also love everything Amy Tangerine!!!
ReplyDeleteThis layout is so awesome and unique! I love your use of the twine (I myself struggle to find a way to use it). My favorite AC product right now are the project life base kits. I am a traditional scrapper but am loving finding ways to use the cards together on traditional 12X12 layouts since the cards are so color coordinated. Its much better than cutting up a large 12X12 PP to just get a splash of pattern into the page.
ReplyDeleteI love the Kraft cards and envelopes!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely adore your style, so much creativity and totally fun! Favorite AC product is the Dear Lizzy Neapolitan paper pad! And really everything else!!
ReplyDeleteWow, you are so amazing.Love it. AC thickers are my jam :)

ReplyDeleteLoving all the color and patterned paper to capture the cutiness of Sweet Baby Jane. I love the Thickers and all the little ephemera pieces. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI am really loving the new Shimelle line! What a fun layout!
ReplyDeleteI use AC's thickers all the time - on almost every layout!! I am so impressed with the selection and variety of styles AC offers!! They are my favorite!!
